- 2 heads butter (Bibb) lettuce
- 1 cup Quick Pickled Sugar Snap Peas, recipe follows
- Homemade Breadcrumbs, for serving, recipe follows
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Method
- For the thousand island dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, lemon juice, sweet pickles and capers together in a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- For the butter lettuce salad: Quarter each head of lettuce, removing the cores.
- Arrange the lettuce in a serving bowl or on individual salad plates.
- Cut the Pickled Sugar Snap peas in half on the diagonal and toss evenly over the lettuce.
- Drizzle the homemade thousand island dressing over the salad and top with the Homemade Breadcrumbs.
- You can pickle just about anything, not just cucumbers...sugar snap peas are one of my favorites.
- Place the vinegar, sugar, salt, coriander and mustard seeds in a small saucepan and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil and turn off the heat.
- Place the snap peas in a bowl or canning jar and pour the pickling brine over them so they are submerged.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a jar lid for at least 30 minutes before removing.
- Cook's Note: If using a jar, the shape may cause your snap peas to float to the top.
- They will sink down and become submerged as they soften in the pickling liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the bread cubes in a single layer on a sheet tray and bake 10 minutes to dry out.
- Pulse in a food processor until the bread is in fine crumbs but still has a little texture.
- Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Raise the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Place the breadcrumbs back on the sheet tray and bake until golden brown, another 10 to 12 minutes.
